Seventeen year-old Hope Nicholas has spent her entire life on the run. But no
one is chasing her. In fact, no one even knows she exists. With her mom, she’s
traveled from town to town and school to school, barely staying long enough to
meet anyone, let alone make friends. And she’ll have to keep it that way. It’s
safer.

When her mother is brutally ripped away from her, Hope’s life shatters. Is this
the fulfillment of Apollo’s curse, murder from the shadow monsters of the
Underworld, or have the demigods finally found her? Orphaned and alone, Hope
flees again, but this time there’s no one to teach her who to trust—or how to
love.

Set in a universe where mythology is alive and well in the modern
world, Curse of the Sphinx irresistibly blends action, suspense and
romance.
